A Better View

Before the show was done you flew away…
Shadows casting as the curtains sway…
Your feelings inside fall to incomplete…
Never heard the sound of my heartbeat…
All that’s missed and tossed away…
Scribbled on paper of yesterday…
My silence screamed on empty ears…
You only answered your inner fears…
I crawled down a ladder till I was on top…
And with this Angel beside me my words won’t stop… 


....when we write of the past we must end in the present.... MJF
